Its a giant shock absorber for bridges. It is usually attached in the area of the substructure, between the sofit and the abutment wall. Its primary job is to minimizes movement during seismic activity. I am a bridge maintenance supervisor in California and I have only seen them on longer bridge spans.

One can find more information about steering dampers by vising a local Department of Motor Vehicles and scanning/reading through the available brochures. Most Department of Motor Vehicles have free brochures and pamphlets regarding steering dampers.
How do you change front dampers on Saxo vtr?
To change the front dampers on a Saxo VTR, start by safely lifting the car and removing the front wheels. Next, disconnect the lower ball joint and the top mount bolts of the dampers from the strut assembly. Remove the old dampers and replace them with new ones, ensuring all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, reassemble the components and lower the car back to the ground.
How do you regulate air duct flow?
Some rooms need more airflow than others, and sometimes there is a temperature disparity between rooms and/or levels in your home. regulate the airflow rate in the duct can help to alleviate these issues. This can be done by regulating what is called dampers in the system. There are basically three types of dampers - Face, Branch, and Main dampers. Face dampers are the ones that are on the face of the register itself.
What are the potential risks and mitigation strategies associated with aeroelastic flutter in bridge design and construction?
Aeroelastic flutter in bridge design and construction poses risks of structural instability and potential collapse due to wind-induced vibrations. Mitigation strategies include using aerodynamic shaping, adding dampers, and conducting wind tunnel testing to ensure structural stability.
